UNSPSC 50466909: Canned or jarred prince albert peas

The variety of sugar peas known as prince albert peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466909 Canned or jarred prince albert peas, a Commodity code, covers specialty canned vegetables that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts for institutional operations. Recent solicitations show that while this specific product code appears in state and local procurement systems, the actual opportunities sourced under it involve much larger food procurement initiatives where canned peas represent one line item among hundreds of offerings. School districts, state facilities, and institutional food service operations buy canned vegetables including peas as components of meal service contracts rather than as standalone purchases.

School districts and state institutional food services dominate the recent activity. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia and Missouri school districts, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted food service solicitations in the past six months where canned vegetables figure as specified items. These buyers typically issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs with response dates between mid-February 2026 and late June 2026, seeking firm fixed pricing on dozens or hundreds of line items delivered to central distribution centers or individual school and facility locations. Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri show the heaviest recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables supplying state supported living centers with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Rockwood R-VI School District's concurrent grocery and NOI bids (both due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 grocery items for 6,900 lunch participants; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 cafeteria food items across five geographic warehouse locations. Canned peas, where specified, typically appear on pricing sheets with standard USDA grade requirements, sodium limits, and shelf-life minimums of 12 months, competing on cost and delivery reliability within broader vendor relationships serving 12-month contracts with renewal options.
